It made me warm and fuzzy inside XD thank you! I feel encouraged! dance dance.
"Huh?"
So, she deleted the pictures and tried again.
Click, click!
A few clicks later, she looked through her pictures yet again. Only to find the unusual misty smudge had grown bigger. What was happening? She told herself that maybe she had dropped that camera one too many times. Or maybe she had used it too much today. With disappointment written all across her features, she decided the solution was to give up and go eat some of her specially made lunch. Perhaps it would cheer her up. She was just turning to leave when she heard small tapping sounds coming from the well.
"Hm?"
She looked over the well, checking all four sides only to find nothing out of the ordinary. Yet the small tapping continued.
"It sounds like a squirrel" she thought to herself with a glint in her eye.
Oh no, what if there's a poor little squirrel trapped inside? She couldn't bear the thought of a cute fuzzy animal being trapped inside a well, so she looked all around for any signs of the teacher or guide and risked opening it. As she got closer the tapping became slightly harder and more constant. When she approached she realized the cover on the well was dusty, so the squirrel must have been in there for a quite a long time. Does that even make sense? It did to her at the moment. As she laid her hands on the cover, the steadily increasing taping noises stopped. Silence. She though it strange, but just figured her nearness scared the poor thing. Now that he had managed to pull the sturdy cover off, she decided to peer inside. All she could see was a darkness that seemed to go on forever. The squirrel hadn't come out yet, so she was worried. Now she leans even further over the edge in a futile attempt to see more.
With a sudden flash of light, one of her hairpins zips out of her hair and into the void of the well.
….!
It all seems to happen in slow motion.
"No!"
This was her most precious reminder of her beloved brother, Sora, who had died in a tragic car accident when she was younger. He was her only family, she couldn't lose one of her precious hairpins!
With speedy judgment, she instinctively reaches to grab the hairpin, swinging with her right hand, she misses! And it falls further out of her reach. She reaches with her left. Success! She had caught her treasured hairpin, and came back to reality in time only to realize that she had lost her handle on the edge of the well and was now hurdling into the dark depths of it.
All she could do was close her eyes and wait for the pain to come when she hit the ground. -Only, it never comes. Instead, she opens her eyes and what she sees makes her gasp.
"Beautiful…" Was all she could say.
She didn't know where she was, what had happened, or if this was a dream from being knocked unconscious after the fall. She was surrounded in all directions by glowing colors and flecks of light in blues and pinks. She felt light, and came to realization that she was flying! It was like she was floating in a vast new universe, or maybe a star. Orihime flew through all the scenery without blinking even once, wanting to take it all in. Sadly, this happiness couldn't last.
After floating for some time she decided it would be a pretty good idea to try and wake up. She worried that she was lying in the bottom of the well unconcious, and that this was probaby just a dream. For all she knew she could have injured herself after the fall. Orihime tried all the classic techniques such as pinching and slapping herself, and quickly grew tired of them. All she had succeeded in was making her arms and face sore. Feeling helplessly defeated and exhausted, she allowed herself be pulled along by the current.
X-x-X-x-X
The girl was unsure of when exactly she went unconscious, but she awoke to find herself lying in a heap at the bottom of the well.
"So it was a dream…" she muttered as she sat up and rubbed her aching head. She winced as one of her fingers brushed over a newly formed lump on her forhead.
"I have to get out of here," was her next thought. She tried to get on her feet, but to no avail, she feebly fell back to the dirt.
Just when her vision started blurring, it started raining flower petals. They fluttered and danced all around her before falling softly to the ground. Orihime held out her hand to examine one.
Daisy petals...
Someone must be up there, I'm saved! she thought, and mustered up all her strength in order to climb to the top. As she climbed closer, she noted how bright it was up there, much unlike the dim shed that housed the well she had visited earlier that day.
Daylight?
It could just be her mind playing tricks on her. She would just have to find out when she got there. Upon reaching the top to see her savior, she saw a … fox? … no, a boy?
What is this thing?
For a moment or two they simply stared at each other wide-eyed. He seemed just as shocked as she was. Then, she screamed. And he screamed right back at her. Only he for a much different reason. Was he …happy? The very confused Orihime scrambled out of the well and on her feet, only to be jumped on and hugged by the flailing little fox-boy, who buried his face in her chest and repeatedly screamed a muffled, "My wish was granted! My wish was granted!"
Now she was really confused, and blushing heavily. The boy held on to her for some time before dropping off of her and telling her to stay put as he left to fetch his friends.
"They are never going to believe this!" he yelled happily as he shot off as fast as his little fox legs would carry him, and with that, was gone before she could have objected.
And so, there she was, waiting for the little fox kid to return with his friends.
Am I going crazy?...
She waited there wondering what other strange creatures she would see later when the boy arrives with his friends. To be frank, this scared her a little. As a result, every bit of her screamed not to stick around to find out. Besides, she had been waiting for quite some time. Perhaps he was not coming back for her after all.
She took one last look around, and after much deliberation she fled into the forest.
Oh nooo...looks like Ima have to stop at another weird spot. At least some stuffs happened this time _ and sorry the chapters are so short... haha, anywhoo, I thought Shippo was funny. He's such a cute little dood. And if yall are wondering why he's taking so effin long to come back to Orihime it was because he was having trouble convincing the others that the well granted his wish...and a girl came out of it. Can't blame them though. After all, the well had supposedly stopped working after Kagome decided to stay in the Feudal Era. And it isn't a wishing well :I Silly Shippo... Please review and tell me what you think! I like to hear other peoples opinions. Unless it's mean. I would probably cry. Also, if anyone has some ingenius any ideas, tell me. if it's a good idea I may incorperate it into the story XD
FAIRWINZZZ!
